How long does it take to learn tai chi?

I don’t know very much and I know that learning is based on the individual, but if you could tell me how long it took you to learn the basics without any real mastery and could you tell me the style you learned. I’m thinking of taking tai chi and just want some more information. Thanks.

He-ya, i’m quite excited for you, learning tai-chi is great and i assure you it will improve your physical well-being, not to mention your capacity to relax and think.

To help me answer your question, I’ll first tell you about my experience learning tai-chi at our local sports center. The style taught was T’ai Chi Chih, a fairly recent system of movement discipline developed by Justin F. Stone who used the basics of T’ai Chi Ching, the original form of martial arts into a relaxing form of exercise and body control through slow movements and body positioning.

It took me around 3 months to get the hang of the basic movements but steady progress can only be achieved after a year or so. It’s been around 2 since my first lesson and i still find myself referring to the basic principles of the placement of weight, how the knees should be slightly bent and “pulling taffy” (an analogy to illustrate how one should position and move his arms), etc,.

It depends on your physical fitness on how often you should take tai chi lessons and perhaps the logistics of getting into a class/getting a teacher. I’d advise to have the class/teacher nearby so you can easily get there without any stress as tai chi needs you to be relaxed in order to properly execute the movements. If your schedule permits you to use 30 minutes everyday to practice the poses you learned at class, then please do so.

Good luck in your endeavor and i hope tai chi brings you immense satisfaction and the means improve your quality of life. Cheers!
